You can't fold them but it's coffee you can carry in your pocket.

I can see espresso or macchiato being petit but powerful but can't get the origami into it.

Good colour. Quite dark as is the Mallard. Both are good. The guy that came into the shop to have his headset walloped by the big rubber mallet had a groovy green, slightly lighter, possibly more visible? all nicer than drab surly khaki Arellcat on "Vanity help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=769#post-6709 Sun, 09 May 2010 10:07:59 +0000 Arellcat 6709@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @chdot: Right. Gresley's Mallard, like other post-1937 but pre-war A4s is painted in Garter Blue; Sir Nigel Gresley is in BR Dark Blue; and Bittern and Union of South Africa are in Brunswick Green. If you're going for a custom colour, why not pick the shade from the RAL colour space? As near as reproducible on a computer screen, <a href="http://allral.com/color_tables.php">this website RAL chart</a> isn't bad. <a href="http://www.kinetics.org.uk/html/ral_chart.shtml">Kinetics has a RAL chart</a> available as well. chdot on "Vanity help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=769#post-6708 Sun, 09 May 2010 08:28:01 +0000 chdot 6708@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <a href="http://www.watercressline.co.uk/mhralp/imgs/60019dec/zehetmayr/large05.jpg">Compare and contrast</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard">Mallard</a> is blue - but not Mallard Blue!

I think it will stand out a bit. So that is one all. Not much help so far are we? ;-) Either way it will look great anyway.

Looks classy and you won't have to keep spotless. I had a bike that was Nachtblau - Midnight Blue. It was really nice. thebikechain on "Vanity help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=769#post-6696 Sat, 08 May 2010 09:26:29 +0000 thebikechain 6696@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Quite liking <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0076FG&cid=PC&language=en-GB" rel="nofollow">http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0076FG&cid=PC&language=en-GB</a> As for the blue: <a href="http://www.colourlovers.com/color/0F3D54/Mallard" rel="nofollow">http://www.colourlovers.com/color/0F3D54/Mallard</a> Min on "Vanity help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=769#post-6694 Sat, 08 May 2010 06:10:17 +0000 Min 6694@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Good choice. ;-) What sort of pale green are we talking? If it's hospital wall green then no. Otherwise it could look pretty nice. Blue is good too but a lot of people have blue bikes.. thebikechain on "Vanity help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=769#post-6689 Fri, 07 May 2010 20:41:19 +0000 thebikechain 6689@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Evening, Just putting some plans together for my new Super Commuter and in strong contention is the Surly Cross Check. HOWEVER i fancy a custom colour powder coat. Suggestions please. At the moment i am swithering between Mallard Blue and a pale green.
